Hi!  Well, I've bought and sold a lot through the net, including
my entire A500 system.  In general, I agree with the idea of COD
for larger items and trust for games.
  I did sell a lot of games a while back, and out of around seven
people I dealt with, six were EXTRAORDINARILY nice.  And one of
them eventually refused to pay and sent the games back several
months after I'd sent them because he disputed their condition.
Even though I was a bit angry at that, at least he sent them back!
So I think the trust bit works, just be VERY EXPLICIT about the
items and make sure they agree-- the guy that returned them had missed
my first posting about the condition of the games and was expecting
"new in the box" or such, much confusion.
